Yes he definitely can play! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR91 Posted Monday at 05:47 AM Share Posted Monday at 05:47 AM Baby Jason Kelce was very good, but definitely benefited being next to Nelson and Fries. Will Fries is so good. He's gonna get paid this off-season 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtsGermany Posted Monday at 09:13 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:13 AM Great game by Bortolini. When I heared that he would start, I was a little bit scared. To have his first start against this D and play like that! Awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see any way Ryan Kelly stays. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two_pound Posted Monday at 11:23 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:23 AM I agree, I like Kelly, but Bortolini has already surpassed him. Can't see the Colts resigning Kelly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holeymoley99 Posted Monday at 11:59 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:59 AM He had a great RAS dropped because of short arms, has proven time and again its no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smonroe Posted Monday at 12:08 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 12:08 PM I thought we didn’t miss a beat with him. But it is one game. I’m no expert on O line play. They’ll study his tendencies and try to take advantage of him next time. Anything to get an edge. We’ll know a lot more about him after his second game.

ChuggaBeer Posted Monday at 01:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:32 PM I thought when he was running down the sidle line after the first score was awesome. Love the enthusiasm 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the enthusiasm Loved it, and he was trucking! I used to be ...fairly...fast back in the day (at least that's the way I remember it). But when 300lb guys can run a 40 faster than I did, it's pretty clear to me why I didn't play in college, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue4ever Posted Monday at 02:22 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:22 PM I’m very happy with the O-line performance 4 games into the season. I thought Braden played a heck of a game against Watt! The fact that we have depth yields to the excitement of what is possible in the next 13 games. Long way to go, but 2-2 feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobbinblitz Posted Monday at 11:51 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:51 PM Bortolini appeared to really help the OL in short yardage in the redzone on Sunday. Very good debut by the rookie.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defjamz26 Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago If theirs is one thing in particular that is night and day with Ballard compared to Grigson, it’s his ability to draft good offensive lineman. Fries turned his career around and in his 1st game, Bortolini stood out. In the past 3 years he’s drafted Rainman, Fries, and Bortolini. I’ve got my issues with Ballard when it comes to other things, but man can the guy draft some OL. We might have gotten our center of the future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Love Bortalini playung well. I wonder if we will get some play from Gonvlaves this year. How does everyone think the line shakes out next year? I could see Kelly and Smith gone. I wonder if Kelly retires or goes to another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith, when healthy, is one of the Top 10 RTs in the league, I still believe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what happened with Will Fries for his improvement, would sure love to hear it. Is it more NFL strength training along with knowledge of the same schemes? What do you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens. I wouldn't mind keeping Smith but I think he is gonna cost alot. Some tough choices are going to have to be made this offseason.

Say what you want about him, but if there’s one thing Saturday did it was start to get the offensive line right. Everyone started playing better on the line when he was in charge. Then I think Sporano Jr. has gotten the most out of the group. The line is playing at an elite level and may be the best ever in the Ballard. So I think coaching and experience for sure. Also unlike Pinter, I think he’s naturally strong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
